Candidates who hold New Zealand citizenship or permanent residency may not apply under any circumstances.
The following disciplines are excluded from the NZIUF Scholarships:
- Aviation
- Dental Surgery
- Medicine
- Optometry, and
- Veterinary Science
The number of scholarships available each year shall be determined by Education New Zealand in consultation with the New Zealand Ministry of Education who shall from time to time also review the terms and conditions of the awards.
The scholarship is tenable at any one of the following institutions (listed in alphabetical order):
- AUT University
- Lincoln University
- Massey University
- University of Auckland
- University of Canterbury
- University of Otago
- University of Waikato
- Victoria University of Wellington
A scholarship shall lapse in the event that a person to whom an award has been made fails to become admitted into their fulltime undergraduate programme by 1 August in the year following that of application.
Please note that candidates wishing to study on a part time basis are ineligible. Students who are already physically located in New Zealand are not eligible to apply.
The scholarship is conditional upon gaining entry and enrolling in an undergraduate degree programme at a New Zealand university. The offer of a scholarship does not guarantee admission. Scholarship holders are responsible for securing an appropriate entry visa to New Zealand and for any fees associated with the visa, including a medical examination. The offer of a scholarship does not guarantee that such a visa will be granted.
Scholarship holders may not change their degree programme during tenure of the scholarship without written permission from their host university and Education New Zealand. In the event of a recipient’s enrolment being suspended for any reason by their host university, Education New Zealand must be informed in writing. In these cases the scholarship will also be suspended. Scholarship recipients may not simultaneously hold other scholarships funded by the New Zealand Government.
*Please note that there may be additional country specific eligibility criteria applied by each country’s scholarships agency. Please ensure that you check these online via www.newzealandeducated.com/scholarships prior to submitting your application.
Value
The value of the New Zealand International Undergraduate Fees Scholarships shall be full undergraduate tuition fees for six semesters or the completion of the undergraduate degree programme, whichever comes first. This does not include living costs, insurance and travel expenses to and from New Zealand. Candidates are required to maintain a high level of academic achievement at all times as the awards are subject to continuing good performance.
